Microsoft Flight Simulator Boeing 777F by PMDG

Today PMDG released its Boeing 777-300ER on Microsoft Flight Simulator’s official marketplace, and it has been made available for Xbox from the get-go.

The price is $74.99. Of course, the aircraft can still be purchased (only for PC) on its own on PMDG’s store.

CEO Robert Randazzo also mentioned on the official forums of the developer that the freighter version of the 777 “nearing the end of development and is being prepared to enter into beta testing.”
